SAT I : 1430 ( 650 Verbal , 780 Math )

SAT II : Biology : 710
Writing : 690
Math IC : 750

AP Grades : Biology : 4
United States History : 4
Computer Science A : 1 (probably wont
write that one down on apps...)

GPA : about a 3.9 unweighted
around a 4.5 weighted

Rank : around or just in top 10% because our
school has some funny way of measuring
grades, where kids who take easy classes
can get better ranking. That and because I
messed up freshman year.

EC : 3 years of soccer (team captain on JV)
2 years of varsity badminton
Founder and President of Calculus Club
Vice President of Interact Club
Secretary of Physics Club
40 hours/wk of work over the summer
200 something community service hours
Tutoring

Schedule : AP Calculus
AP Physics
AP Government
AP MacroEconomics
AP Statistics
AP Computer Science : Java
And some random religion classes
So pretty much hardest schedule
possible.

I want to go to : UCB, UCLA, UCSD, Stanford,
Rice, and any Ivy League

Think I have a chance? I live in CA btw.

You'll get into the UC's and possibly Rice. Stanford and the Ivy's will be a reach-but then they are for everyone. Good luck.

Thanks for the input. Anybody else?

he probably was an amateur programmer who thought he knew enough for the test but found out he didn't the hard way

UCSD is getting more competitive as time goes on. Personally knew 2 kids who thought they were a lock at UCSD--were rejected--and are going to UC Irvine. So, I'd add UCI or UC Davis to your application list. . .just in case.

Rice, Stanford, and the Ivy League are reaches for you. If you want to go there, go ahead and apply, but don't be too dissapointed if you don't get in because you probably won't. UCLA, UCB, and UCSD are great schools for you to look at that you'll probably get into. Apply to any UC you'd want to be at so you'll have some schools to choose from in May.
